Chapter 45 Debate
"But will what we have done now be recognized by the vehicle reform authorities during the demolition?" An Songyu asked hesitantly.
An Jianmin paused in planting the tree, he was not sure whether he would recognize it or not.
But: "Hasn't Lam Tsuen been demolished twice? They have more experience!"
"Now, most people in Jiangcun are following their lead."
"By the way, Ayu, how long did your parents say it would take to arrive?"
An Songyu hurried over to help An Jianmin hold the tree, but he was also a little confused:
"My parents said they were coming over?"
"Aren't they coming over?" An Jianmin was even more surprised than An Songyu.
An Songyu also looked at An Jianmin with confusion.
For a moment, An Jianmin was somewhat impressed by the generosity of his third brother and his wife: "Your parents are really..."
"Don't even mention your fourth uncle and fourth aunt. Even your two aunts will be here soon."
"If your parents don't come..."
“Everyone else in this village has built an extension!”
"But there's no room for adding more space in my house!" An Songyu looked innocent.
The reason they returned to Jiangcun was because they had taken the issue of future demolition into consideration.
Therefore, several small buildings were constructed in a way that was most advantageous for demolition.
Nowadays, there is still some empty space in the yard where they are standing now.
But this is also a few vegetable gardens given as part of the residential land allocated by the village.
Apart from growing vegetables and trees, there is nothing else you can do.
An Songyu remembers that when she last left the village committee, she also read the contents of the demolition notice.
For example, the building is calculated based on the area on the property certificate.
I don’t know whether what each family in the village is busy doing now can be considered as addition or expansion.
If so, then it is doomed to be a waste of work.
An Songyu is not the only one who has this worry.
In the small building of the village committee, Jiang Wenlin and the old accountant looked at the cars coming in and out and sighed again and again.
An Jianxing took the documents upstairs and saw this situation. He was quite helpless and persuaded again: "Uncle Captain, Uncle Accountant, you two should stop worrying about this."
"The demolition of Lam Tsuen next door was not just once."
"Don't our village know how to even copy homework?"
Although Lincun is a big village, they are a clan village with the same surname.
The details of the last two demolitions could not be hidden from the villagers at all.
This time the last bit of Lam Tsuen was also demolished.
Not to mention the people of Lincun who are still alive.
Even the people of Lin Village who were relocated during the previous two demolitions are rushing back to try to find a solution for them!
In Lam Tsuen, people hardly intermarry.
Nowadays, all the wives in Lin Village are married from outside the village.
As one of the villages closest to Lin Village, girls from Jiang Village have been marrying into Lin Village for generations.
This time, the two villages were demolished together.
There isn't much competition in this kind of situation, so you don't mind others copying your homework.
The only worry is probably the lack of manpower and materials!
And in just one month, there are only so many things that can be done!
Jiang Wenlin and the old accountant turned around and looked at An Jianxing.
Seeing that he can still work as usual, I don’t know whether I should praise the young man for his stability, or should I…
Before An Jianxing could hand the documents in his hand to the two people, he saw a familiar figure under the small building.
He walked a few steps to the parapet, leaned over, and shouted to the people below:
"Dad, why did you bring back so many bricks?"
Below the village committee building, a middle-aged man who was riding a rickshaw heard the sound, subconsciously braked and looked around.
I looked at him for a long time, but he didn't show any intention of looking up.
An Jianxing was even more helpless: "Dad, look up! I'm upstairs!"
Hearing the sound, the middle-aged man quickly raised his head.
Just then he saw his son's half body stretched out of the small building, and he quickly raised his voice:
"Jianxing, what are you doing? Don't lie there like that! It's dangerous!"
An Jianxing straightened his body a little, making sure that he was not in such danger, and then he said quickly:
"Dad, you haven't told me yet!"
"Why are you pulling things on a tricycle? And what are you going to do with all that stuff?"
Seeing that An Jianxing was no longer in danger, the middle-aged man was not in a hurry to answer his son's questions.
Instead, he turned around and greeted the captain and accountant upstairs: "Wenlin, Brother Wenhua, why are you guys on the roof today?"
Jiang Wenlin pulled his lips helplessly and asked again on behalf of An Jianxing:
"Smoothly, your son asked you why you were hauling so many bricks!"
"These? Not much, not much. Didn't I hear that the compensation for building a chicken coop with bricks is different?"
“So I followed everyone and pulled some back.”
"I don't even have enough bricks to build a wall of my chicken coop!"
"My bike is not good enough. I ride slowly and arrive late, so I didn't get many bricks."
"Are we going to steal these bricks too?" Jiang Wenhua carefully recalled the storage of bricks at the nearby brickyard. It seemed that there were quite a lot of them!
"Of course not! Now most of the brickyards have been moved away by people from Lin Village." An Shunli simply lit a cigarette while taking a break.
Anyway, there are no bricks to be transported from the brickyard right now, so he doesn't need to rush back to work!
Jiang Wenlin reminded again, feeling a little tired: "It is said above that new construction and expansion do not count!"
"I don't plan to build it!" An Shunli took a deep puff of cigarette, with smoke coming out of his nose and mouth. He then looked up at his son, who looked particularly unhappy, and the other members of the village committee:
"Neither of my two bastards can help."
"Let's not talk about Jianxing. He is a village cadre after all. He can't do this job well."
"But his brother also said he would not come back until Sunday after hearing the news of the demolition."
"Then let's see if I will share the money with them!"
"Shunli, you still have money to share with them, right? Didn't I hear that your family split up a long time ago?" A passerby heard this and immediately added a question.
"I said that the An family is unreliable."
"Look at this population, they only account for one-third of the village, but the number of households accounts for half of the village." Another person suddenly said.
As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed to ignite the secret and unspeakable thoughts in the hearts of the people around.
Amidst the chatter, someone immediately looked up and asked the members of the village committee:
"Uncle Wenlin, the two married girls from Shunhe's family also came back to the village to contract the orchard, right?"
Jiang Wenlin looked down from the upstairs and saw that the person asking the questions was a well-known shrewd person in the Jiang family.
I couldn't help but frown.
He said rather unhappily: "So what if it's covered?"
"What do you mean? Uncle Wenlin, don't pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth!"
"He Shun and his brother's sons just took over several hundred acres of orchards."
"Isn't it a bad idea to even have my daughter come back to join in?"
"What do you mean by not so good?" Jiang Wenlin became even more annoyed: "When I let you take over the business, you didn't even bother to look at me straight in the eye."
"I'm afraid that if I fall in love with you, I will definitely give you some more advice."
"Why do you change your mind now that you heard about the demolition?"
"Let me tell you, I, Jiang Wenlin, have never violated the rules in doing anything."
"No matter if they are sons or daughters of his Anshunhe family, as long as they are contracted by our village committee with real money, there will be no problem at all."
"Uncle Wenlin, that's not what I meant!"
"After all, the orchards in the village, whether it's the fruit tree seedlings or the early maintenance, are all invested with the money that should be distributed to the whole village."
"But now, these fruit trees are in their prime fruit-bearing period, but they are directly contracted out."
"Then wouldn't it be taking advantage of the village to compensate for the demolition?"
"Taking advantage of the village?" This time, before Jiang Wenlin could speak, the old accountant Jiang Wenhua spoke first, his voice cold, staring at the person who had just spoken:
"You are so young, but your eyes are just holes?"
“I didn’t see it written in the demolition notice that cash crops should be based on their actual economic value.”
"If it weren't for the Shunhe family's sons doing the contract together, even his two daughters would have been taken on the contract."
“Even in our village… who would think of taking care of those orchards?”
"Without the contract money, even if we have an idea, who will support us?"
